About this map

Stansbury Island rises sharply from the southern reaches of the Great Salt Lake in this modern topographic study of the Tooele County shoreline. The map documents a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably the steep ascent of Adams Peak and the drainage patterns of Pass Canyon. The surrounding waters are partitioned into several distinct geographic features, including the protected Stansbury Bight and the expansive Stansbury Bay to the west.

Smaller landforms such as Badger Island and a portion of Carrington Island appear to the north, situated within the shallow margins of the lake bed. A causeway or spit connects the main island to the mainland across Crystal Bay, illustrating the land-water interface near Boulder Point and Sandy Beach Bay. This survey captures the topographical character of Utah’s saline desert environment, tracing the exact contours of these isolated peaks and coastal indentations.
